Yeah but really not any worse than what the original Americans were doing to each other. Cannibalism, warfare, slavery, etc. They were also pretty harsh on their environment. That whole myth of the native in harmony with nature thing has been debunked by what we've found in the last decade.

Yes. Fuck the, "noble savage." I was just pointing out Columbus's barbarism.

Same deal here in Australia with the "stolen generations". Our ancestors came here and witnessed tribal warfare that would leave a village completely genocided. Every woman and baby had their heads smashed in, some tribes were cannibalistic too. So they set to work on "kidnapping" children from the tribes and educating them with "whiteys rules and laws" in hopes of speeding up their evolution.

I've heard that there are a fare few aboriginals thankful for that colonialism but they don't get any media attention.
